Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Hand mixer or stand mixer
- Rubber spatula
- Shallow dish
- 8-inch square dish
- Fine Mesh Sieve
Ingredients
For the mascarpone filling
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream 240 ml
- 8 ounces mascarpone 225 g
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar 100 g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the coffee-soaked lady fingers
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled 240 ml
- 24 to 28 lady fingers Savoiardi style preferred
For the finish
- 2 to 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ounce dark chocolate, finely shaved optional
Instructions
- Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into a chilled mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until medium-stiff peaks form. The cream should hold its shape while still looking smooth.In a separate bowl, stir the mascarpone, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract just until smooth. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in two or three additions until thick, fluffy, and evenly combined.Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow dish. Dip each lady finger very quickly, about 1 second per side, so they are moistened but not soggy.Arrange a single layer of dipped lady fingers in the bottom of an 8-inch square dish. Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the top and smooth it into an even layer.Repeat with a second layer of dipped lady fingers and the remaining mascarpone filling. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for the best texture.Just before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve. Finish with shaved dark chocolate if desired, then slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Use cold mascarpone and cold heavy cream for the best texture. Dip the lady fingers very briefly, since oversoaking can make the tiramisu watery. For the cleanest slices and the best flavor, chill the dessert overnight and dust with cocoa powder just before serving.
